Question marks over the west: Western world in decline — and still (largely) in denial
The main thesis of the article is that the Eurozone (EMU) crisis is not the main problem of Europe, or the West, but the long-term decline in economic growth. Institutional and policy distortions of the EMU only accelerated the day of reckoning, when the inevitable cuts to the oversized public (mostly welfare) expenditures will have to made. They will be even more necessary given demographic changes. The process of adjustment has encountered a lo…
The Polish Generic Private Sector in Transition: Developments and Characteristics
WHILE CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENTS and characteristics of the Polish generic private sector, or to put it differently, Polish de novo firms that were private already at the moment of establishment, it is worthwhile to remind the reader that there is a difference between privatising a firm and privatising the economy. In the case of the former it means change in the ownership form: from a state-owned (or publicly owned) firm to a privately owned f…
Crucial relationship between the privatized sector and the generic private sector in post-communist privatization Determinants of economic performance
This article looks at the issue — largely neglected in the transition literature — of the relative weights of the privatized sector and the generic private sector (of de novo private firms) in the emerging private sector of post-communist economies in transition. The present writer posits that the relative weight of each in the aggregate share of a private sector (generally expanding over time as transition progresses) strongly influences economi…
The Transformation to the Market: At High Cost, Often with Long Lags, and Not Without Question Marks
The shift from a command economy to a market economy is not only a question of following appropriate macro-economic policies but also a matter of instilling a market ethic in the minds of people who had been socialized and rewarded in a non-market command economy. In that system, many concentrated on technical rules of survival. The lumpenproletariat in favoured industries were rewarded even when they shirked or pilfered from state enterprises. T…
East‐Central Europe: A regional survey—The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia in 1993
AT THE TIME OF WRITING (late autumn 1993) it seems pretty certain that the long awaited recovery from 'transformational recession'1 has finally arrived, at least in three out of the four countries under consideration. It has, however, been weaker than expected in some countries. It is most visible in terms of GDP, with Polish growth in the healthy 4-5% range and that in the two other countries, Hungary and the Czech Republic, in the 0.5-2% range …

The polish transition programme: Underpinnings, results, interpretations
AT THE TIME OF WRITING, the Polish transition programme has entered its third year of implementation. In the almost continuous debate about its merits and demerits that goes on in Poland and also, within a larger, comparative framework, abroad, one question has been conspicuous by its absence, namely: 'Why was Poland the first to start implementing the transition programme?'. After all, Hungary was well ahead of Poland in tinkering with the Sovie…
The inevitability of a fall in output in the early stages of transition to the market: Theoretical underpinnings
THE STEEP FALL in industrial output in Poland and the even steeper one in East Germany at the start of the respective transition programmes came as a surprise to many analysts. It prompted a discussion on the 'costs of transition', giving the chance to criticise the 'big bang' (or 'shock therapy' or 'critical mass') approach of both residual believers in the old order and proponents of various allegedly painless formulae of gradual transition. Le…
Obstacles to Economic Reform of Socialism: A Property-Rights Approach
This article sketches briefly an answer to the question of why economic reforms fail under the Soviet-type system in spite of the obvious interest of the respective ruling groups in improving the performance of their ailing economies. The author, applying a property-rights approach, points to the fact that all segments of the ruling stratum benefit from maintaining an undemocratic political system, but party apparatchiks and economic bureaucrats …
Dissipation de la rente, managers et travailleurs dans le système soviétique: Les implications pour un changement du système
Jacek Szymanderski, Jan Winiecki. — Dissipation de la rente, managers et travailleurs dans le système soviétique : les implications pour un changement du système. Les auteurs analysent les attitudes des managers et des travailleurs essentiellement dans l'optique de ce que les théoriciens du droit de propriété appellent la dissipation de la rente. Ce phénomène est particulièrement répandu dans le système soviétique où l'application des règles en l…

This article tries to answer intriguing question : why market-type reforms fail under the Soviet system in spite of the obvious interest of respective ruling groups in improving the performance of their ailing economies ? The author stresses the explanatory framework of the "new economic history" pointing at the wealth distribution under the Soviet system as the very important variable. In the firs…
